Norgren RM/960/400 Tie rod cylinder - 6in bore
Part Number: RM/960/400
Quick Summary
RM/960/400 tie rod cylinder provides rugged pneumatic actuation for heavy industrial automation. Engineers often face wear, misalignment, and shock loads in long-stroke cylinders, which this design helps mitigate through robust construction and adjustable cushioning. While industry standards such as CE-compliance and IP ratings are commonly considered during selection, this cylinder is built to align with standard pneumatic practices and reliability expectations. The result is a dependable, high-force actuator that integrates smoothly with existing plant air systems, reduces downtime, and improves cycle predictability in high-demand applications.
